Field Marketer (freelance)

At Yardzen, we believe people are at their best when they’re outside.

• Experience running local campaigns and driving a market-specific strategy through low-cost tactics
• Self-starter who can operate without a lot of direction
• Comfortable writing own marketing copy and giving specific creative direction to others

• This is a 1099 contract position in which fees are paid on a monthly basis and based on a rate of $50-$75 per hour (depending on experience)
• 15-20 hours per week but we are flexible when you work those hours 
• This is a remote U.S. based position
